At least some American lawmakers are saying something.

The statement from the UK is just hopeless. They are the ones that made the deal for Hong Kong and now the Chinese are shitting all over it, yet 10 Downing is silent. The continent is just as bad.

Australia also seems to have totally backed down, signing onto a Chinese-approved investigation of the virus and now following the British.

Hong Kong falls with a whimper.

US needs to act instantly via the removal of HK's trade exemption. That would economically devastate a large number of Chinese companies that utilize HK's free trade exemptions to get around tariffs and duties.

They're partially responsible for sending the world into a depression and haven't had to pay a price. They know no one has the stomach or resources to militarily push back. We're #2!

I wonder how long it would take a Chinese Army company to clear those Hong Kong sky scrapers door to door floor to floor?

His legacy will be that of Neville Chamberlain, no doubt. Half ass trade wars and glowing reviews of Xi Jinping.
